Meanwhile, pour off the accumulated juice, lightly holding back the grated potatoes without stirring them. Finally, press the mixture with your palm against the sides of the bowl and remove the remaining excess juice. Add flour, finely grated onion, egg, and two pinches of salt.

Heat a pan and pour oil into it. Mix the potato mixture. Place a portion of the mixture (1 full tablespoon) onto the hot oil and spread evenly, forming a not-too-thick pancake. Fry on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until they achieve a golden color, then flip to the other side and repeat the frying process.

Place the finished pancakes on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with freshly ground sea salt. Potato pancakes taste best straight from the pan, when they're still crispy.
